    As I continue my tire search, I want to hear the performance (both on and off-road) differences between these two tire sizes.

    Which one do you guys prefer/recommend?

    You’ll be fine. May have more gap between tire and fender. I’d rock a 16 with more meat imo

    I personally would prefer not losing any meat with the 17s, but I’ve noticed there seems to be a few more c load options in that size vs 16”
